Looking for some meal plan inspiration? Receive two cookbooks each month with suggested recipes and shopping lists with this three-month subscription. HPL Cardholders only.

Let HPL take some of the work out of meal planning! Our Plate Expectations 3 month subscription will include two staff-selected cookbooks with seasonal recipes selected for breakfasts, lunches and dinners each month, along with prepared shopping lists. Recipes will be based on a family of four meant to accommodate a variety of tastes.

Cookbooks and shopping lists will be available for pick up at the Adult Services desk on September 25, October 23 and November 20. The books will be checked out to the library card number listed in your registration details. Please return the books and review card, but keep the shopping lists!
